Our Asbury Discovery Center is perfect for a meeting with a twist! Complete with exploration maps, large digital screens, hidden messages and a wall of gears, the 2,200-square-foot building’s Industrial Revolution steampunk design and setup was unveiled.
The building houses many animals often used for educational purposes, such as the Zoo’s snakes and reptiles. Also found within the center are offices and viewable laboratories that allow guests to watch zookeepers at work.
The building’s steampunk motif is meant to take its visitors time traveling on a whimsical, steam-powered, early 20th century journey as they learn more about the Zoo’s rarely seen animals.
